David Ferrer Upsets Novak Djokovic in Straights, Goes Through to the Semis

“David Ferrer beats Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic in straights.” Who saw that coming? I didn’t. The Spaniard isn’t as flashy a player as many of his peers, and he does not have that rally finishing shot that so many of the best have. Perhaps that is the reason why many, myself included, tend to underestimate him. What he does have in plenty, though, is a tremendous work ethic,... 

Bob and Mike Bryan: World Tour Finals Favorites or Facing Parity?

The doubles draw at the ATP World Tour Finals being held in London this week might be one of the deepest in years. There are Grand Slam champions (Jurgen Melzer and Philipp Petzschner, Max Mirnyi and Daniel Nestor) and Masters 1000 winners (Rohan Bopanna and Aisam-Ul-Haq Quereshi, Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes, Michael Llodra and Nenad Zimonjic) among the mix. And then there’s Bob and Mike... 

Sublime Roger Federer Dispatches Rafael Nadal in Straight Sets

When he’s in this form, in this mood, Roger Federer has no adversary, no contemporary, no competition. Coming off back-to-back titles in successive weeks, and now adding this straight set demolition of Rafael Nadal in the round robin stage of the ATP World Tour Finals, Roger Federer is sending a clear message to the men’s tour, perhaps even a warning. He’s back, and gunning... 

11 Shortest Fuses in Tennis History

Andy Roddick is no longer the best player in America, and as his fast serve seems to slow down, his challenge for the most bad tempered player around gathers pace.   He’s not the only one either.  Tennis has provided us with some incredibly short-tempered people over the years.  Here’s a run down of the worst offenders.

Roger Federer at His Vintage Best Destroys Rafael Nadal in London

Wow! What a match. The 26th encounter between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal proved one of the most one-sided as the Swiss Maestro, also known as poetry in motion, absolutely annihilated his friend and nemesis Rafael Nadal. 6-3, 6-0 was the score with 28 winners for Federer and a mere four for Nadal in a match that was over in one hour (their quickest this far? It has to be). It wasn’t as if... 

Roger Federer, in Rare Showing, Whips Rafael Nadal

I’ve never watched Roger Federer look so good against Rafael Nadal.  Until today, when he beat Nadal, 6-3, 6-0 in the ATP World Tour Finals in London. Yes, Nadal had a bad day.  He was coming off a fairly long break from playing tennis.  In addition, Nadal reportedly had a stomach illness a few days ago.  Yet, who among us thought Federer could even pull off another match... 

Caroline Wozniacki Video: Watch Tennis Hottie Get Jiggy with Dominika Cibulkova

Does anyone really care that she doesn’t have any Grand Slam Championships? As a matter of fact, maybe this is what Caroline Wozniacki needs to do at some of those Grand Slams. Who knows? Maybe that will help get into the minds of her opponent.  And while we’re on the subject of improvements, perhaps this is what the men’s game needs. A little spice never hurt anyone.  In... 

Andy Murray Withdraws from Barclays ATP World Tour Finals

After what looked like an uncomfortable loss two days ago to David Ferrer, Andy Murray officially withdrew Tuesday from the ATP World Tour Finals with a groin strain. The British number one came into London as the number three player in the world, and was competing in a group with David Ferrer, Novak Djokovic, and Tomas Berdych. When asked about the decision to withdraw Murray responded, “It’s... 

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Blasts Winners Past Mardy Fish to Secure 1st Win in London

The score was 7-6 (4), 6-1, but what was more telling was the forehand and backhand winners. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga led Fish 9-4 in forehand winners and 7-1 in backhand winners. The big Frenchman essentially imposed his game on Fish, who withstood the pressure for a set but couldn’t fight back in the second. Overall, Tsonga made 33 winners to 21 unforced errors, while Fish was 18-16. With two big... 

ATP World Tour: The 7 Best Players Under 23 Years Old

The days of teenagers winning grand slams on the ATP World Tour seems to be a thing of the past. A couple of Americans, Pete Sampras and Andy Roddick, were able to win the U.S. Open at young ages: Sampras won at 19, while Roddick won in the Big Apple after just turning 21. While this can certainly still be done, it won’t come easy. On the ATP World Tour, most players find their greatest success...
